Thulian pink History

The name of this color comes from the ancient concept of Thule, a mythological land located at the furthest northern edge of the known world. The specific term was standardized in 1912 by Robert Ridgway in his seminal work, Color Standards and Color Nomenclature, intended to categorize the specific hues found in bird plumage.

Meaning & Psychology

Thulian pink elicits feelings of compassion and approachability, lacking the urgent alarm signals associated with brighter reds. It is viewed as a nurturing hue that promotes emotional healing and warmth in interior spaces.

In Nature

This specific shade is frequently found in the petals of wild rhododendrons and the vibrant blooms of tropical orchids. It also appears in the protective pigmentation of succulents when they are exposed to high levels of sunlight, acting as a natural sunscreen for the plant.

How To Use Thulian pink

In user interface design, this color works best as a high-visibility accent for buttons or call-to-action elements against dark backgrounds. It creates a sophisticated contrast when paired with deep navies or charcoal greys, avoiding the cliché of standard baby pinks.
